Motivational Ideas (Part 11)

1. It’s best for us to not be frustrated when results don’t go our way. Our job is just to do the hard work and try our best. We should know that we may or may not receive the results, but we should have enough insight to realize that along the way,we have learned and acquired many other skills. Also we have been taught us many other morals and values such as patience.

2. Whenever we have a difficulty, we should also realize that we are so blessed. We are healthy compared to this one small problem which will disappear. Plus, this problem is also a blessing because it will help us grow by learning new things. We are a winner in all cases.

3. We should never do anything to get recognition from the people. We should work to help them, not help our inner-self.

4. Don’t interfere/worry about what others are saying or doing. Just focus on your work.

5. We should work with what capabilities we are given by nature and whatever we learn. So if we are strong in speaking, we can use speech. If we have the power to write, we can persuade others through writing. We should use our talent instead of wasting it away.

6. Everything is against you, or nothing is against you, it all depends on how you view life. If you can make every obstacle in your way your opportunity, you’re a challenger and a positive thinker. Otherwise, you’re a complainer.

7. Soft-natured and soft-hearted people are likeable.

8. Being happy around people even when you are upset will make people happy with you.

9. Our abilities as well as our choices lead our way.

10. What determines an unsuccessful person from a successful person is not a lack of skills and knowledge, but a lack of will to be persistent.

11. Persistent hard work brings a sense of extreme internal joy.

12. Small adjustments make big differences. What we consider little has a big impact on the entire picture.

13. Every act also depends on its circumstances. A poor and a rich giving the same amount of wealth in charity is not the same.

14. Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn their sleeves, some turn thier noeses, and some don’t turn up at all.: attributed to Sam Ewing online

15. Perseverance is not a long race. It is many short races one after another.: attributed to Walter Elliott online

16. The sunrise and the sunset and the creation of our eyes show that they are both work the same way. The sun rises and lights up the earth gradually and the sunsets and darkens the earth gradually. It doesn’t suddenly lighten up or darken the earth. Our eyes too adjust to dark and light gradually. You may have noticed that when you go into a dark place, the things in dark gradually become more and more apparent to you. Similarly when you come out in light after being in dark for some time, your eyes slowly adjust to the light and you feel easy only after some time. I don’t know the exact science, but I think our pupils gradually dilate and stretch according to the external light, which allows different amounts of light to enter our eyes. In darkness, they open up to let more light in and in bright light, they constrict to let less light in to protect the eye. This phenomena and the alteration of the day and night in such similar manners show us that both these phenomena follow the same system. In fact, the altering of the night and the day is designed in such a way that our eyes don’t feel the shock of the sudden change of darkness and light. It looks the sunrise and sunset was designed to match with our eyes.
